Expected. We build our game based on Rodri, which is logical because the guy never gets injured, so I don't think is a flaw of our system. Despite being an awful match, I don't think is useful to get any conclusions in a Rodri-less City at the hardest away match in PL right now.
I feel there is gonna be tremendous overreaction here, so I just want to give some facts:
- Last season we were very fragile defensively before mid-January.
- We were 8/9 points behind Arsenal.
- Arsenal and Liverpool haven't played between them, so being 6 points behind is not true at all.
- From the next 11 fixtures, the only difficult one is Newcastle away (maybe Brentford away would be the second hardest). Perfect time to build a run and to reintegrate KDB to our team.
I understand the people who are worried (although I am pretty relaxed), but let's not overreact that much.
